catering case

I thought working office hours would allow me to be more committed to this blog but I was wrong! Lagi malas ade lah. Really amazed at some fellow brides to be and their commitment to their wedding blogs! SALUTE!

Wedding preps are still slow. Well at least I've got my Photography/Videography vendor sorted out. After numerous enquiries and quotations, I decided to choose D'Shootz Photography!

I am so thankful that I managed to chope Fudgerina to be the one who calls the shot. Love her personality and I am so glad we can communicate well! I think it's very important to have a good rapport and be completely honest with the camera/video vendor. I highlighted some of my concerns and my wants and do not wants- hope she doesn't find me too fussy! Haha! But yes, if you're still looking around for a Photographer or Videographer, do consider D'shootz k? Affordable also tau!

Still very makan hati with catering issues. I think I still do not have a caterer. I THINK. Whenever I ask Mom about it, she would brush me aside and say she already have a caterer but I don't see any progress or updates. Please please takmo cock up. PLEASE.

I trust my parents to do it and I do not want to be bossy cos this wedding is their event as well and they are covering the catering expenses BUT...see lah, my Bridezilla perangai dah start. What makes things worse is that most caterers are booked on my date. Hahaha, call Mcdonalds je lah for my wedding. ISHK. Selisih!

Hahaha what should I do about this? Everytime I bring the subject up, my mother and I would end up squabbling cos she thinks I'm too bossy. GAH. Hmm, maybe mom is having that anxious-anak-nak-kahwin feeling tak? Hahaha, attachment issues ke? HAHAHAHA.

I think this Caterer issue can be sorted out soon...cos my future in laws are coming over tomorrow to talk about the wedding! :O

17 months.

WAZZAP! *does that wazzap hand sign shit*


Decided to lock this blog up because of some issues but everything is a-okay now! I am happy to announce that I AM NO LONGER WORKING SHIFT HOURS and I feel NORMAL like a kakak koperat keparat!

So excited to work office hours and in civilian clothes because I realised that I've always been working on shifts and ALWAYS in uniform. I never had to fret about office clothes, so this posting is a completely new experience for me. Been settling down well at work and learning a lot from my mentor (who happens to be my friend!) and hopefully I will feel happier there. No more dealing with shitty public, SUCK ON THAT.

Just realised it's 17 months to my wedding!!!! 

Anyhoos, little improvement regarding my wedding plans. We're moving at a slowwwwww pace. Which is quite surprising because I used to be so ONZ about wedding planning and after a certain time, I'm just like, URGH malas.

I have a photography and videography vendor in mind already though. Did not manage to book Bliss PhotoCinema but it's ok because I think D'Shootz photography is as good as them! Met the photographer yesterday and I really enjoyed talking to her. Nice to meet you Fudge! Must build great rapport hokay. So I guess my videography and photography concerns are over! Yeehaaa!

Only left with catering and my mom is in charge of that and OF COURSE has to take her own sweet time. Haiz, I really hope there are good and reputable caterers left for my date! If not...oh god, I don't even wanna think about it. :/

Kahwin Kahwin Saturday.

Glad that I took leave for this...

... and managed to book Kasai Sayang for my deco! YUP, decided on them cos I am very the in love with their Tiffany Blue & White pelamin! Come to think of it eh, it was another deco vendor that I wanted to engage but because I felt their service was...MEH, I decided not to. Service is very IMPORTANT. If I'm not "feeling" it, I won't be so keen. That being said, I think Kasai Sayang's service is excellent, they're not pushy and their prices are quite affordable. 

Always like that lah. Andaman also gitu, enquire bridal house yang lain, dah 70% decided on them, tawaf satu expo AGAIN and then decided on the other one. Must survey survey first lah hah. 

Hahaha, can't believe I came out of the exhibition cheering because I managed to block the date, wuahahaha. So Bridezilla. The fellow kakak kakak kahwin must be thinking I'm nuts, hur hur. But seriously lah, cannot hegeh hegeh lah. 

Because I took my own sweet time, there were no available videography slots for my wedding date!!! That means I cannot  have Bliss Photo Cinema for my videography!!!! SO SAD CAN!!!!!! Omg, I've been stalking them for sooooo long and I can't have them! The guys from Bliss were really nice to recommend another videography vendor, so we'll see but STILL. :( x infinity seh. Haiz, takde rezeki nak engage dorang tapi takpe lah jah. 

To soothe my aching heart, dragged my ever obliging girlfriend & Maid of Honour, Nadiah to the wedding expo at Singapore Expo. It was...MEH. Don't waste your time, really. Spent 3/4 of the time stuffing our faces with food and watching a group of makciks dance. Managed to ask for quotations from 2 caterers though. Farah Diana catering & SMR. Uh, still discussing with mom about it. Feedback about them anyone? Would really appreciate it! 

Merayap-ed to the Book Sale next door and bought this for Nadiah! 

THOUGHTFUL OR NOT?! :D

Okay, that's all for my kahwin kahwin Saturday. Glad that I managed to book my deco vendor but super sad that there were no slots for videography for my wedding date. Takpe lah, nasib badan!

t.o.m.o.k's wedding.

I am a sucker for celebrity weddings especially those from Malaysia and Indonesia. Always inspired by their classy gubahan and pelamin.

Yesterday my friend showed me a video of T/omok's wedding. T/omok was a member of a Malaysian band, New Boyz. They produced awesome karaoke jiwang songs. My 13 year old self would have weeped like mad. Hey, don't judge, I'm sure there's a bit of jiwang in every one of us. :P

Gorgeous.

And of course, this KPO had to dig out for the wedding videos. Love them! Shall save all these and show my wedding vendors.

Save The Date video! So touching. Eh I wonder if my H can sing for me also not?!

And the official wedding video. Loving their dais!!

My 13 year old self is vair sad now. :'(

I don't know if it's just me but I quite disagree when people say there's not a need for a videographer. I think photography and videography are important. They are below the ranks of food and andaman means they're above deco. Geddit geddit? HAHAHA. Tapi masing masing eh.

But ya, I think they're important cos I want the wedding moments to be captured forever. So when dah ade anak pinak cucu cicit ke dah tua lupa lupa boleh lah teringat zaman kahwing kahwing.

And I want someone who will be able to capture the precious moments nicely- with a nice pricetag to boot of course. He/She must also have chemistry with me and my partner. Nanti kaku pulak senyum. Actually videographers were the first thing I researched about cos photographers are aplenty and totally jatuh hati with Bliss PhotoCinema. THEY ARE AWESOME LIKE OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR 2013 SLOT TO OPEN GONNA CHOPE THEM QUICK QUICK.

Phew. So there, you can see how eggcited I am!!! I really want them man sampai hari hari stalk FB dorang tau. I'm not sure if they have a website, but here's their FB account.

Here are some of the videos I super sukaaaaaaa!!!
